Day 155: God will Shepard the Remnant Through Exile and Restore Them

Today we read 2 Kings 16, Micah 1-43, and Psalm 139. This is a story that captures and summarized 500 years of rebellion. God is removing His protection. Yet, God is still promising to Shepard the remnant, those willing to repent, and Shema. The Bible Project describes the Jewish word Shema to mean we allow the words of God in Scripture to sink in, providing us with understanding, and generating a response that turns into action. God will Shepard His people through exile, through the storm, walking through the valley of the shadow of death (not avoiding it) and He will restore them to God's special place with a close physical relationship to Him as we read about the New Jerusalem and the temple with His presence.
